Chew Guide

Which Chew Is Right for My Dog?

Every chew we carry is rawhide-free and fully digestible. Here's how to pick the right one. 🐾

Start with how hard your dog chews

The gentle nibbler — takes their time, never destroyed a toy in their life
→ Cow Ear or Small Yak Cheese Chew

The picky one — turns their nose up at plain chews
→ BBQ or Chicken Beef Cheek Chip, our only flavored chews

The everyday chewer — enjoys a good chew, finishes in a reasonable session
→ 6" Thick Bully Stick

The determined chewer — makes short work of most chews and comes back for more
→ 6" Thick Braided Bully Stick or Beef Cheek Roll

The power chewer — has defeated things you thought were indestructible
→ 6" Braided Collagen Stick

Pick by your dog's size

Small dogs and puppies → Small Yak Cheese Chew or Cow Ear. Both are manageable, and the yak chew lasts surprisingly long for its size.

Medium dogs → 6" Thick Bully Stick is the sweet spot. Step up to the braided version or a 5"–6" Beef Cheek Roll if your dog finishes one too quickly.

Large dogs → Braided Bully Stick, 9"–10" Beef Cheek Roll, or Braided Collagen Stick. The extra density is what makes the difference for a big set of jaws.

Pick by what matters to you

Longest-lasting → Braided Collagen Stick, our densest chew.

Best value → Cow Ear, the most affordable way to give a natural chew.

Fewest ingredients → Bully sticks, collagen sticks, cow ears, and beef cheek rolls are all single-ingredient.

Gentlest on teeth → Cow Ear. A good choice for seniors or sensitive teeth.

Least odor → Our bully sticks are naturally low-odor with no chemical treatments, and yak chews are nearly odorless.

For fussy dogs → Beef Cheek Chips. The BBQ or chicken basting wins over dogs who reject plain chews.

Dairy-free → Everything except the Yak Cheese Chew, which is a milk product.

Chicken-free → Everything except the Chicken Beef Cheek Chip.

Grain-free → All of them.

Chips vs. rolls: what's the difference?

Both are beef cheek, but they chew very differently.

Chips are flat 4"x4" squares with a crunchy texture, basted in BBQ or chicken flavor. Quicker, crunchier, and better for picky eaters.

Rolls are dense and tightly rolled, plain and single-ingredient. They last considerably longer and come in two lengths for medium and large dogs.

Common questions

Are these safer than rawhide?
Yes. Every chew we carry is rawhide-free and fully digestible. Rawhide can swell in the stomach and cause blockages, which is why we don't carry it.

How often can my dog have one?
Natural chews are calorie-dense, so treat them as an occasional indulgence. A few times a week suits most dogs.

Will these clean my dog's teeth?
Chewing naturally helps scrape away plaque and tartar, so it's a real bonus — but it supplements regular dental care rather than replacing it.

What do I do with the last little piece?
Take it away once it's small enough to swallow whole. With yak cheese chews there's a better option: microwave the last nub for 30 to 45 seconds and it puffs up like a cheese puff. Cool it completely, then hand your dog a whole new treat.

My dog has a sensitive stomach. Where should I start?
Try a single-ingredient chew like a bully stick or cow ear, introduce it gradually, and keep early sessions short.

My dog won't touch plain chews. Any ideas?
Start with a Beef Cheek Chip. The basted flavor is usually enough to win over dogs who ignore unflavored chews, and once they've got the habit you can try a plain one.

Chew safely, always

Supervise your dog with any chew, every time. Pick a size appropriate for your dog, take it away once it's small enough to swallow whole, and keep fresh water available. Introduce new chews slowly, and check with your vet first if your dog has a health condition.
